In our advance training courses we apply our S.M.A.R.T approach to self-defense.
Our S.M.A.R.T approach to Threat Perception and Self-Defense
S- Strategic- Long term or overall identification of goals and means of achieving them. 540 degree of situational awareness (Tactical Mindset/ What if game!)
M- Manipulation- Control or influence (A person or situation) to be clever, turn odds to your favor. (Recognize your advantage and assailants disadvantage)
A- Acceptability- Operational Plan. Determination as to whether the contemplated course of action is worth the cost. (Injuries, Life or Death)
R- Resilient- Being able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions/ situations, staying strong and flexible. (Mental and physical preparedness)
T- Technique- The execution to complete a self-defense skill. (To quickly overcome your assailant)
In today’s society there are hostile acts committed everyday towards innocent people!
Don’t let today be your day – our motto is:
“IF IT’S POSSIBLE, IT’S PREVENTABLE”!
“It’s better to be prepared and have a skill and not need it, then to be unprepared and need a skill and not have it.
Stay prepared, Stay Safe.”

Great class. Very informative and he made it very interesting. Learned more in this class than a previous instructor.

I would like to thank Mr. Williams for his excellent instruction and training on firearm safety. After taking this course, I feel prepared to be responsible in owning a firearm based on the training I received. Moreover, I have a clearer understanding of the law as it relates to owning a firearm. I will be certain to refer my colleagues and friends so that they can also receive the proper training related to firearm safety. I enjoyed my experience and I look forward to future training in other areas offered. God bless you.
Thank you for the kind words Dr. Lewis. We are truly glad you enjoyed the course. We look forward to training with you in the future. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call. Stay Safe.
I had the opportunity to experience this LTC class the instructor was great. He’s very knowledgeable with his laws and regulations an with everything else that comes along with it. If you are considering on getting your FID or LTC license I would highly recommend that you obtain it with SSD Tactical Training Inc. I am highly recommending this class to friends and family the hands-on experience is awesome.
My husband took this class 2 years ago because we live in CT and have family in MA and would be eligible for both licenses plus UT. Well he raved about it and has been actively learning since. Myself being very fearful of guns started learning and soon found myself on the other end of the spectrum. So I finally made the two hour pilgrimage and took the class. My husband was right about everything. The class is very thorough. He covers everything from how to handle and shoot a gun, gun laws and how not to be stupid, how to handle different situations you may come into like how to handle the police if you’re carrying and get pulled over, suicide prevention, as well as how to fill out your forms. He’s very active when he teaches. It’s very hands on and he’s there to help you. My husband and I look forward to taking more of his classes in the future. I highly recommended his class to anyone even slightly interested in firearm safety and protection.
Jamie,
Thank you for that kind and very detailed review. You and your husband show the true meaning of gun owners who want to stay safe and have knowledge of the laws. Keep up the training and investing in yourselves. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call.

I took the Utah non-resident class from David Williams. I have been a Massachusetts Firearms Instructor for 19 years and I was so glad I took the class. Not only did I learn so much from this class but David also helped us fill out the application, fingerprinted everyone and told us exactly what we needed to send to Utah and even supplied the envelope. I was amazed at his knowledge not only in regards to Utah law but for Massachusetts as well. I was impressed and will be sending many clients his way for the Utah non resident CCW. I owe David with so much respect and character that I know I would trust him and his word in all that I do. Thank you Sir and “Be Safe” in all you do.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the kind words. You’re a true professional as well. Stay Safe.

My fiancé and I are looking to obtain our license to carry. We both work in the restaurant I industry so our schedules are abnormal. I would like to obtain the class schedule and pricing please!

Have taken two classes with SSD Tactical so far and they have been terrific experiences. The instruction is thorough and the hands on approach allows the teachings to sink in. Anyone who takes a class here will come away with an excellent foundation of knowledge.
Thank you Will. We’re glad you enjoyed our courses. Glad to see you’re continuing your training!
Stay Prepared, Stay Safe
Great Course! Instructor is extremely knowledgeable and has an immense amount of experience with his background. He did a great job and keeping us engaged and was humorous as well as very nice and straight forward. I learned a lot and it was nice being able to actually shoot live rounds. I would recommend this to course to anyone.
Thank you Brandon. We’re glad you enjoyed the course. Don’t hesitate if you have any questions.

I went to this course after reading the reviews. I am happy to report that the reviews are accurate as the course was great even for someone who already has their LTC. David is a great instructor and really stayed on task without going down the rabbit hole of questions during the class. That being said there was ample time to ask questions at the end which is when he opened the floor for questions. Very knowledgeable instructor who really set a great tone for people who may have reservations about being in a class that’s over their head. I would recommend this class to anyone!
I had the opportunity to take this class today. This course is amazing at introducing information and building a great foundation of safety, laws, best practices, learning opportunities in the area, and really so much more! In addition you get valuable instruction from individuals that are passionate about what they are teaching. They go above and beyond. I personally feel I am more confident and comfortable! I’m so appreciative I got to participate and strongly recommend to anyone looking for some training and knowledge.
